Description

  • Itinerary

On the Garður Ocean Diver Tour you will join the undersea inhabitants of the North Atlantic for a swim through Iceland’s cool coastal scene.

Our favorite local ocean dive site is Garður, located at the tip of the Reykjanes peninsula and a one hour drive from Reykjavik. Garður is a shore dive.

Kelp forests offer a great habitat for a number of marine species, including lumpsuckers, nudibranches, and a wide variety of invertebrates. Colorful algae also flourish here off the coast of Iceland. You will most likely notice pairs of eyes sticking out of the sandy patches of the ocean floor where the flounders live. Soft orange coral also intermittently decorates the sandy ocean floor. In the area of the kelp forests, a wolf fish might pay you an unexpected visit or stick its head out of a pile of rocks, looking a bit like a prehistoric creature.

The pick up time of this tour depends on the tides. We usually want to end our dive around the peak of the high tide.

Note that ocean dives in Iceland depend on the weather and it can happen that scheduled ocean dive trips have to be canceled due to unfortunate weather conditions.

If that is the case we usually have a plan B and can offer you other dive sites, such as Akranes, Bjarnagjá, Kleifarvatn, Davíðsgjá or Silfra that do not depend on the weather as much as the ocean.
